Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 13, 1912. Serial No. 731,070.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY AUPERL, a citizenof the United States, and residing at New York, in the county of NewYork and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Frappeying-Nlaohines, of which the following is aspecification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to machines or devices for use in frappeyingwines, liquors or beverages in bottles, and the object thereof is toprovide an improved device of this class which is simple in constructionand convenient of operation, and also comparatively inexpensive; afurther object being to provide a portable, hand supported and handoperated device of the class specified which can be carried about fromplace to place and operated wherever desired, and which does not involvea supporting frame of any kind or class.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification of whichthe accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of myinvention are designated by suitable reference characters in each of theviews, and in which Figure 1 is a side View of an apparatus involving myinvention ;Fig. 2 a bottom plan view of a clamp which I employ, and Fig.3 a side view thereof partly in section.

In the practice of my invention, I employ an ordinary hand drill devicecomprising a shaft a provided with a beveled gear a and a larger beveledgear a mounted in a plane at right angles to the plane of the gear a andmeshing therewith and adapted to be turned by a crank a and whereby theshaft 04 will be rapidly rotated. The shaft a is provided with the usualclutch head I), and in the practice of my invention, I provide a clampdevice 0 comprising a head portion 0 having a plurality of downwardlydirected spring jaws 0 which, in the construction shown, are four innumber, and passed through the head 0 of the clamp device 0 is a headedpin or bolt 0 which is adapted to be inserted into the clutch head 6 inthe same manner as the shank of a drill, and mounted on the pin or bolt0 above the head 0 of the clamp device 0 is a washer c and nut 0 bywhich the parts of the clamp device are securely bound together.

In Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing, I have shown at (Z a bottle thecontents of which it is desired to frappey, and in this operation thehead (i of the neck of the bottle with the seal thereon is inserted intothe clamp device 0 and the bottle is inserted into a tub or bucket ofchopped or finely divided ice after which the shaft a is rapidly rotatedby turning the crank (i This op eration, as will be understood rapidlyrotates the bottle in the ice and in this way the contents of the bottlemay be quickly frappeyed after which the bottle may be opened and thecontents thereof discharged in the usual manner.

The spring jaws 0 of the clamp device 0 are inwardly and outwardlycurved as shown to enable the head (Z of the neck of the bot tle to beeasily and quickly passed into said clamp device, and said jaws willclamp and hold the head of the bottle with sufficient force to enablethe bottle to be turned in the ice in the manner above described.

My improved. frappeying device may be used wherever desired and withoutany support or supporting frame, all that is necessary being to providea bucket of ice into which a bottle is stuck, and the operation offrappeying the contents of the bottle may be performed in a dining roomin full view of those ordering such beverages and others.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In a manually supported and manually operated device for frappeyingwines and other liquids in a bottle, the combination with a rotary shaftand clutch head and means for turning the same, of means for clampingthe bottle, comprising a main portion having a plurality of spring armsextending therefrom, the outer extremities of which are curvedoutwardly, a screw threaded shank,

adapted to extend through and beyond the my invention I have signed myname in said main portion for engagement With the presence of thesubscribing Witnesses this clutch head and a nut for removably secur-12th day of November 1912.

ing the shank in said main portion and caus- HARRY AUPERL. ing theclamping means, shank and bottle Witnesses: to rotate with the clutchhead. 0-. MULREANY,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as S. ANDREWS.
